Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The night covers thousands of miles, and in the same darkness, each place has a different loneliness. Chen's house is located in the corner of a deep alley in Longjinfang. The narrow space and high walls make the lighting very poor. Her house is small and low, and it is old. The beams and broken wooden windows made of soot make the whole space very dark...It reminds people of the haunted house in the story.

It was only at this time that Yulian realized something good about being a man of the Chen family. Yulian wasn't so afraid when he was here before. She curled up against the wall, the more afraid she became, the more she couldn't sleep.

Do people have ghosts after death? In front of Yulian's eyes, she seemed to see the blood-stained corpse staring blankly at the moment of death. She trembled and whispered into the pitch-black air: "Don't blame me, don't blame me... I was wrong, I shouldn't have expected you to die, but I didn't kill you, and I didn't act as an accomplice! This is all helpless. As a woman, I really can't bear that kind of life. If I couldn't live on, my heart wouldn't be so vicious..."

She kept comforting herself, and finally fell asleep for a while. After all, this is not the scariest place, at least it is in the metropolis of Tokyo; the reason why it is scary may be because someone just died outside in a stinky ditch.

Yulian felt that the most frightening place was the place where she grew up when she was a child, and it was in her dreams.

When I left my hometown, I was still young, but I remember very clearly the environment I first saw. The thatched huts with earthen walls are darker and more dilapidated than the Chen family’s house in Tokyo, and the countryside is pitch black at night, with no lights in the middle of the night; there is a barren mountain behind the house, and there are many wild graves on the mountain. Yulian still has vivid memories of when she was a child and didn't dare to go to relieve herself at night.

I vaguely remember that my hometown belongs to Hedong Gaoping. I listened to old people chatting, saying that Gaoping used to be called Changping, which was near the ancient battlefield of the Changping battle between Qin and Zhao a long time ago. It was rumored that Qin general Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers on that land! No wonder the villagers often unintentionally dug up the bones. At that time, Yulian liked to listen to the gossip of the adults, but she was very afraid after hearing it.

Later, she was finally resold to Li Shouzhen's house in Hezhong Mansion. She still remembered the densely populated city, the deep mansions with people coming and going, the clean houses, there was never a shortage of lamp oil and candles, and lanterns were hung outside at night. She immediately fell in love with that place. At least initially I thought it was a nice place with sunshine in every corner.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, when she opened her eyes, the bright and clean house disappeared, followed by darkness in reality, and the air was filled with a faint smell of grass and ash.

Yulian's eyes widened in the dark, she didn't dare to hold the lamp, the window was ventilated, and the oil lamp dangling was even more terrifying; besides, if the lamp was on in the middle of the night, if someone else saw it, they might gossip. At this time, she felt something lightly pinching her soft chest, and she reached out her hand to grope, and found that it was the auspicious amulet that she had prayed for in the Taoist temple a few days ago, and she was still wearing it on her body with a thin rope.

The talisman was for Brother Shao. It happened several days ago, and there was no murder case at that time.

It is said that it is very spiritual. It has been enlightened in front of Bodhisattvas, and people with high morals have cast spells and drawn amulets. The runes are drawn on a piece of red silk, wrapped into a triangle, and can be worn with a string. Brother Shao said that he would go to war soon, and Yulian hoped that he would come back alive from the battlefield. What else could he help besides worshiping gods and asking for amulets?

The owner of the Yuzhen Temple is a female Taoist priest, and the Taoist temple is in the city, so it is very popular with women. Yulian was also very interested in inquiring about the origin of the temple master before. It is said that her original name was Jing Niang. She had met Zhao Kuangyin, a general of the imperial army many years ago.

Yulian rubbed the talisman in her hand, hesitating whether to give it to Brother Shao. Tomorrow morning is the last chance to give it away, and he will return to camp at dawn.

In her heart, Yulian does not blame Guo Shao for killing her husband, and even secretly feels grateful... Of course, she also thinks highly of a young man like Brother Shao. But how can he, a young general at the age of eighteen or nineteen, really fall in love with a barren woman who has been married three times?

If you act impatiently, you might make a fool of yourself: If your husband is still alive, you will have sex with others, are you a flirtatious and frivolous woman? Yulian knows very well that if she doesn't respect herself, then others will look down on her and treat her as an insignificant thing that can be discarded at any time.

It would have been better if he had been in Li Shouzhen's house a few years earlier... But Brother Shao seemed to be so devoted to Fu Shi that he was even willing to die for her, even if he really let go now?

God is never fair. Some people are indeed born to be loved by others, even if they do nothing, there will still be people who are willing to pay for her. Just like Fu's family, who was born noble, beautiful and intelligent, no matter how many times she has been married, she is always a fairy in people's hearts.

...

Guo Shao got up early in the morning and opened the back door, and found a red thing falling out from the crack of the door, so he picked it up and observed it carefully for a while, then put the thing away, and turned his head to look into the alley.

...According to the military order of the Privy Council, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army gathered in the barracks in advance to report, and the troops will be dispatched two days later. Guo Shao rushed to the military room the day before the stipulated time.

Although he was only in the military camp for two days, it was a bit free for Guo Shao, because he was promoted to the top of the capital and returned to ten generals without sitting on his buttocks.

He looked weak and sat on the threshold basking in the sun, the spring sun was warm, and the flowers on the pear tree in the yard were just about to bloom. He looked really lazy when he was fine, as if he had no energy, he didn't talk much, and he never stood when he could sit.

At this moment, a white rabbit emerged from nowhere, which immediately caught his attention. But he still didn't move, just watched intently.

The little white rabbit in spring is cute but easily frightened. If she doesn't approach slowly, she will be scared away immediately... Guo Shao pinched the auspicious symbol around his neck, staring at the rabbit with ecstasy, with a smile in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, a reckless man rushed over from nowhere, he was still wearing a heavy armor, without saying a word, he ran over to the rabbit and threw himself at the rabbit. The bulky body fell to the ground with a "bang", and the rabbit ran away without being caught, but he fell with a mouthful of mud.

"Damn it, Luo Er! Look at your stupidity!" Guo Shao scolded.

This fellow is called Luo Mengzi, a soldier of the fourth team. He seems to be in pain from the fall, grinning and getting up grinning. He patted the ground, pouted, walked and jumped over, took the bow from his back and handed it: "Guo Shijiang, shoot that rabbit quickly."

Guo Shao took the bow and an arrow, didn't look around where the unfazed white rabbit was going, and flicked the bow string casually, then stared at him and said: "Good guy, this must be a two-stone strong bow, where did it come from?"

Luo Mengzi said: "Didn't Ten General Guo get promoted two days ago, Commander Wang rewarded you, and you're not in the barracks."

At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice with a bad tone saying: "I don't know if a general can pull away the things that are used by the head."

Guo Shao and Luo Mengzi looked back, only to see Yang Biao and a dozen soldiers walking over carrying a flayed sheep. That Yang Biao was tall and thick, with a ferocious horse face, but his words had a bitter taste. This guy is now the deputy general of the fourth team, one level lower than Guo Shao, but he was a centurion military general before, and he doesn't seem to accept the management of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy like Brother Shao; and Guo Shao was demoted from the capital to ten generals yesterday, and he was innocently demoted to another level. I'm afraid he doesn't like Guo Shao very much.

In the past two days, the Dianqian Secretary has been very kind to the soldiers below, because they are about to go to war, and they are rewarding money and rewarding the army with pigs, sheep, wine and meat. Everyone is in a good mood.

"It can still be pulled away." Guo Shao replied calmly, and just happened to find that the white rabbit ran out just now, with its ears pricked up under the eaves opposite the yard. The sergeants followed his gaze and easily spotted the brightly colored rabbit. The rabbit was not far away, maybe twenty or thirty steps away, but the target was too small. Everyone was looking forward to it more and more, and the crowd let out a sigh.

In this situation, Guo Shao couldn't step down from the stage. He calmly grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, rubbed it in his hands, and took out his finger cots to put them on.

Lazy and slow movements, just like his usual style. But suddenly, he took a deep breath, his whole body became full of bone strength, he bent his bow and arrow like a full moon. The two-stone strong bow was mostly used to practice arm strength, and it was hardly used in actual combat. The bow was drawn like this by him, and I am afraid that it would be able to be opened with one more stone!

The tendons on the long and stable fingers had already bulged, and the tendons made a tense sound of "chacha", as if they were about to break, and it was like the noise produced by the huge twisting force of a catapult, which made people inexplicably nervous.

Bows and arrows are not firearms. They can be aimed, but their reliability is a bit crap. From standing still to drawing the bow, every movement is actually aiming and looking for the feeling of the target; this feeling is an intuition formed from countless hits or misses in practice, and it is completely indescribable and untraceable. Whenever he picks up the bow, this feeling makes Guo Shao inexplicably excited, as if facing a girl who is passionately in love, he has already won the bow, but he is a little worried about the gains and losses in his heart, for fear that she will leave quietly, and he can't bear to have any distracting thoughts. At this moment, Guo Shao has already forgotten whether he is in a modern academy or in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms where wars are raging everywhere. He only has arrows in his eyes!

"Bang!" There was a strong string sound, and the lingering sound seemed to carry the slightest sound of a sharp edge piercing the air, startling the onlookers. In just a short moment, many people were fascinated by Guo Shao's focus from his eyes to every part of his body, and the sound of strings finally brought them back to reality.

"Okay!" Luo Mengzi shouted excitedly first, no matter whether he hit the shot or not, the force is already shocking enough.

In response, I saw that the white rabbit had been firmly nailed to the corner of the wall, and there was no room for struggle.

Yang Biao was surprised and embarrassed: "There are two tricks."

Guo Shao's expression relaxed, ignoring Yang Biao's words... Is this the attitude towards subordinates and superiors? Although Yang Biao was a centurion not long ago, but now he is a deputy general of a small team! The most indispensable thing in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is arrogant soldiers and powerful generals. This is not a place to pay attention to the virtue of humility. Forbearance will only make people think that you are easy to bully, and you are a fun doormat. Guo Shao handed the bow to Yang Biao: "Come and try."

The atmosphere that had just recovered was slightly tense again, and everyone turned their attention to the square-faced man.

That Yang Biao was not very old, but his complexion was dark and yellow with vicissitudes of life. He looked like a battle-hardened man. But after a long battle, not everyone is good at bow and arrow, and very few of them. You could tell by his expression that he was obviously hopeless.

Unexpectedly, this guy was a stubborn character who would not admit defeat, and immediately said: "It's just that the archery is accurate."

Guo Shao sneered and said, "Don't even dare to try? Then you'd better know the rules."

Yang Biao's face suddenly turned red and turned pale, and he couldn't find anything to say. Coupled with the ridicule of the surrounding sergeants, he immediately said bitterly: "Guo Ten's arrows have eyes, but the arrows on the battlefield don't have eyes!"

What do you mean by these words, naked|naked|naked threats, to make a stumbling block on the battlefield?
